It was too crowded outside. Ivanka knew Tanya was cunning enough to cry out for help, play the victim, and turn the situation against her. She did not want to deal with that mess.“You… You wouldn’t dare!”Tanya’s voice shook with panic as she tried to threaten Ivanka. Her body was trembling uncontrollably.She knew all too well how dangerous this situation could be. If Ivanka applied pressure in the wrong place, it could easily leave her paralyzed.Tanya could see the murderous chill in Ivanka’s gaze.She had not yet won Michael’s heart. She had not yet killed Blake. She had not enjoyed enough of life’s pleasures. There was no way she was going to spend the rest of her life paralyzed in a bed!Ivanka only scoffed at Tanya’s threats. “Since you had the nerve to drug Michael and use my face to pull off those shameless stunts, what makes you think I wouldn’t dare?”As expected, everything had played out just as Tanya feared. Ivanka had already figured out it was her. Everything sh

Just as it seemed like Ivanka was about to be overpowered, two figures suddenly appeared at the doorway!Ivanka’s eyes brightened as relief washed over her.At that moment, Michael was like an angel sent by God.Evan immediately charged forward and joined the fight.The men who had been grappling with Ivanka were already on the brink of exhaustion. They were barely holding on as they tried to subdue her. They did not expect another skilled fighter would join in!In the blink of an eye, the men were swiftly taken down.Michael’s face was dark and menacing. His murderous glare fixed on Tanya as if he were ready to tear her apart.Tanya’s body trembled violently. She opened her mouth to explain, but before she could get a word out, Michael coldly ordered Evan, “Take care of these men.”The next moment, Michael walked toward Ivanka. “Are you okay?”Appreciation flashed in Ivanka’s gaze. She gave a soft response. “Yes.”She had seen how swiftly and skillfully Michael and Evan had

Ivanka kept her stern expression and warned him. “If you keep acting like this, I can tell you very clearly, it’s not going to happen between us.”“All right, I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously.” Alexander’s tone remained playful but with a hint of mock hurt.Ivanka rolled her eyes at him and said no more.What she did not realize was that Alexander’s exaggerated display was intentional. It was meant for the eyes of Michael, who was standing behind her.Behind them, Michael stood watching their retreating figures. His dark eyes were cold and expressionless.For a moment, he had considered going after them.However, Ivanka’s words echoed clearly in his mind. She did not want him to interfere, which was why she had been so quick to push Alexander out.In their recent interactions, he had come to understand one thing about her. When Ivanka made up her mind, she was not one to easily change it.At the same time, Blake received a report from one of his men about Tanya. “M

She did not like having conversations with people in that manner of speech.However, Alexander and her were not close, so she did not feel the need to force the issue.Ivanka said coolly, “You invited me. I accepted and came. Now, will you finally tell me who’s the woman behind all this trying to take me down?”As she said that, Ivanka tossed the skewer in her hand aside and looked up. Her eyes were cold and piercing as she stared at Alexander.However, Alexander just chuckled. “Iv, you’ve turned me down three times. It’s only fair that I make you wait a little, right? Here’s the deal, agree to go on three dates with me, and I’ll tell you who’s behind it. What do you say?”As he said that, he slid a glass of juice across the table to her.Ivanka did not budge. She snorted and said, “You really know how to hold a grudge, don’t you?”Alexander did not get offended. In fact, he agreed with her. “Of course I do. I’m still a man, after all. Being rejected by you three times in public

A moment ago, when Michael clashed with Alexander, they had attracted a bunch of onlookers.Worse still, Alexander had displayed a pitiful expression and spoke in an aggrieved manner.It made Ivanka look as if she went around seducing men and breaking hearts. She had had enough of Alexander’s nonsense and took out her pepper spray. When she was about to use it on him, he grabbed her hand.Alexander gave her a meaningful smile. “Iv, you can’t just comfort me whenever I get angry. This is embarrassing. After all, you’re a lady, I am a gentleman, not the other way round.”Ivanka refused to let him twist her intention like that, so she tossed the pepper spray into her free hand and charged at him again. As Alexander reached over, she leaned back to avoid him. But he stepped forward purposefully and leaned over her.At that critical moment, a pair of strong hands held her by the waist and propped her up.A faint whiff of cigarette and the familiar scent of medicine enveloped her.A
